You might look into jbosscmp-jdbc.xml -- to be packaged under META-INF in your ejb jar. The file describes some more CMP information that JBOSS requires, ie, what database to connect to, whether or not to automatically create the table structure, etc. The entries in jbosscmp-jdbc.xml largely mirror the cmp entries in ejb-jar.xml. Good luck, Cory
